Re: 97 EK Civic Sedan [PERVTD]

I'd say keep the mouldings - goes well with the black rims and headlights. Looks great now, but I think painting the door handles would make it look better

Re: 97 EK Civic Sedan [PERVTD]

Re: 97 EK Civic Sedan [PERVTD]

JESUS!!! Ive been on here like 1 day and everyone is all over my car like a rash!! hahaha, this is just absurd, some gud feed back, some bad feedback, some concerned feedback, some asshole feedback... im suprised at the coments ppl make. I mean constructive criticism is all gud, open to it, but yeah.. just cause im new doesnt mean i havnt been round other cars. Ex rota boy so if that sticks the knife in then so be it! I mean, sure i can c why ppl h8 cut springs, theyre cheep, nasty, sometimes dangerous, BUT.. if done properly (captive & certed) they r no different from ne other lowering spring! At the end of the day, im the one driving it, im the one fixing it, im the one paying the fines and taking the heat so... this isnt directed at any one but cmon... "NO TXT LANGUAGE" mst ppl thz days use txt language all tha time, its evn allowd in NZQA exams.. So figure that out.. but its not my forum so i will stick to the rules. White mouldings, Black mouldings.. tomatoe tomatoe.. hah, i just dont wanna be like every other type r and copycat etc, why i went with the front lip. CMON PEOPLE.. Lets get a bit of Originality in this scene, its all about ur own style coming through in ur car. And yes, i will talk to mark at SSP about a rear lip as i did when i bought my front lip off him! Oh yeh, the headlights are stock EK3 painted housings black. Fiddly & i wouldnt recomend doing them unless your gud at jigsaw puzzles or knitting. Savy?!

Re: 97 EK Civic Sedan [PERVTD]

this site is quite biased towards a certain style of car and yours fits into that style on the most part, but cut springs is a little whorey.. and text speak with a keyboard is just downright reatrded, lazy, annoying a frustrating!

the asshole comments should just be ignored, the know it all comments happen regularly as dc2 pointed out by the same poster, and the helpful comments represent the most part of the site so chill!! just try to type out words rather than text, does the keyboard look like a phone?

Re: 97 EK Civic Sedan [PERVTD]

I will contain my thoughts and yeh i do like the criticism, but not everone can afford to modify there cars with adjustables, i will be changing it soon enough, hah, the keyboard does look like a cellphone if you have a blackberry :p

Re: 97 EK Civic Sedan [PERVTD]

I was gonna go for a carbon bonnet, boot and mirrors but i hav pics of one with them and dont know if i like it anymore.. anyone elses thoughts??!!







Think it wrecks the overall appearance of the car, to much like a jigsaw, maybe the bonnet isnt so bad but the boot has put me off!!

Re: 97 EK Civic Sedan [PERVTD]

carbon boot would look good if the car had a black roof, but those mirrors just dont go with it, spoon ones would finish it off nicely

I disagree with the boot. I like the bonnet though. White with carbon boot just doesn't look right.

CF bonnet and black roof will be good. Mirrors and boot stay with body colour.

Re: 97 EK Civic Sedan [PERVTD]

It is that stupid wing and the black side mouldings that make that Ek above look stupid. Just a carbon trunk and hood will look sweet. Wing mirrors in carbon look tyte too.

Re: 97 EK Civic Sedan [PERVTD]

^^ there was a place in the US but they were notrious rip offs and I believe got shut down? MarkE was looking into some roof caps. And you sure you have 500 newton meters of tq?

I agree it would look better with the roof at least black, ties the two ends together. Carbon boots are cool though I want one.

Re: 97 EK Civic Sedan [PERVTD]

Yeha, they r good and much better than carbon or altezza style lights. They are xtremely hard to find tho. Took me around 3-4 months to find a set. They really do look baller. I really like the domani rear end with the garnish lights that angle down



Try and find one of those tho! Something different if i could
